Also, I think that she might also find the comments here interesting from a research perspective (relative to her field) should she wish to read and post on her own. Just kidding. Sort of. But the more, the merrier, if she does want to post sometime.JaneB, it makes me sad for him, too.

Because of all his failures with men on base (or it seems that way), I think that he would be booed this year anyway, but somehow the contract seems to make people boo him more.

If so, what couold we possibly give them, if they are asking for three of the Yankees top 4 prospects!!!!???Upton for Detweiler!? I would give 5 Detweilers for Upton, get on that one Riz!Peacock untouchable? nice move Riz!Desmond being shopped..again kudos Riz bring back something good.

Note: she _did_ already know that Werth is hitting terribly and had a huge contract, but she couldn't see how that related to the booing and thought the booing would make him perform worse.She said: the people that boo either want to see him fail, or else they just want to feel good about themselves when he does fail.(Hey, I know enough not to argue such things with her. But she did want me to post this!)

Power and average, position flexibility, control going forward.There's no one else like him in the minors or on the current 25 man to replace him with? No one else is even close to hitting .300? Espinosa is now in a 3 for 25 or 25 slump and his average has dropped. Werth has been in a season long drought. Morse is close to untouchable this year. It might be different in the offseason. If he decides to forego arbitration the Nats would get 2 draft picks when he is resigned. He is now listed a an "A". I suspect they resign him to a contract and he plays left field next year until they can work out a trade for LaRoche.

Walters from the Cardinals for starter Edwin Jackson, relievers Marc Rzepczynski and Octavio Dotel, outfielder Corey Patterson, and three players to be named later or cash considerations. The Blue Jays will flip Miller to the White Sox, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.

A weird runs/hits/errors line: 1 0 5 (!)I see between the two teams only one run was earned (in the 3-1 game). Sahntana had 10K's 1BB. Nice.
